Embodiment III
Method for identifying the source of covalent bond material:
The process that many little molecule covalent combine macromole includes by utilizing hydroxyl nitro type free base to carry out attacking wound
Build little molecular radical intermediate.We have been prepared for the collaborative position that band is saturated just like the little molecule of kynurenin or indolepopionic acid
The various protein of point, RNA and DNA.Using the various variants of Fenton reaction, peroxide/nitrate makes these preparation warps
Cross free radical to attack, then carry out as above process.Fig. 4-8 shows the qualification in the source of many responses.We use this side
Method identifies the species in PK digestion blood plasma, attacks, as free radical, the compound that indolepopionic acid is formed subsequently with protein bound.
The explanation in 9A-C of this process.First, as Fig. 9 A schematically shows, exist in the case of macromole by creating little point
The free radical intermediate of son, little molecule combines with macromole (protein or fragments of peptides, DNA, RNA etc.).In this example I
Use the reaction of traditional Fenton type to create free radical.In other are applied for, other create the method for free radical intermediate, all
As electrochemical oxidation (i.e. for oxyindole) or ultraviolet irradiate (i.e. for the non-electroactive adduct of DNA or RNA)
It will be method for optimizing.Second, as shown in Figure 9 B, the material of preparation concentrated and through mass spectrum to determine the ammonia in protein or peptide
Basepair binding site in base acid binding site and DNA or RNA.In this example, it is shown that I3PA is combined with tyrosine
Product as its reaction intermediate kynurenine.3rd, synthetic standards product are to prepare for the suitable protein of particular studies,
Evaluator plasma proteins, human albumin (HSA) in this case.The collaborative bond material of similarly extraction and blood plasma preparation
And for differentiating the covalent bond material in human plasma.In this example, lower level association during we identify matched group
With combining I3PA and Heng Tingdunshi disease subject, there is the oxidative damage of higher level.
Our analysis shows that the strong of the little Molecular biomarkers of covalent bond (CBSM) identifies number in state and animal
It is predicted progress.In the protein of other researchs, the distribution of CBSM makes we conclude that, its measurable depression and spirit point
